This piece was inspired by my experience in Australia during a school trip, particularly moments spent lying beneath the stars and kayaking along a calm river. Reflecting on the idea that “such freedom is the essence of youth,” I sought to capture this sense of openness and vitality through rhythmic energy and flow.

The work is structured in two contrasting sections. The first is performed in a more unified and orderly manner, with instruments largely moving in unison. In contrast, the second section emphasises individuality, as the melody is passed between parts, allowing each performer to bring their own expression to the music.
